Welcome to South Dakota State University!

Genetics & Statistics Research Mission

To develop statistical methods and software tools to enable clinical applications of human genetics discoveries

Example Projects

1. Which PRS methods perform well when combined with epidemiological risk factors?

Example Projects

2. Multivariate longitudinal modeling of biobank traits

3. Joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event traits in biobanks

4. Can we use genetics-based risk predictors in specific patient populations to guide treatment decisions?

Opportunities

• Collaborate with geneticists & clinicians
  
• Develop statistical modeling skills, including Bayesian hierarchical models
  
• Statistical computing skills development, including computing with sample sizes over 100,000
